RIVETING-MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 530,162, dated December4, 1894.

Application filed March 17, 1894- To all whom it may concern: 7

Be it known that I, PAUL A. OUENOT, a citizen of the United States,residing at Canton, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain, new and useful Improvements in Riveting-Machines; andI do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings,making a part of this specification, and to the letters of referencemarked thereon, in which-- Figure 1, is a side elevation of the machine,showing parts in section, and illustrating the anvil lowered. Fig. 2, isa similar view, showing the anvil elevated so as to bring the same inproper position for use. Fig. 3, is a front edge view of the machine,showing the anvil elevated for use, and illustrating a section of workplaced in proper position and supported. Fig. 4, is a horizontal sectionofthe machine proper, showing a top view of a fence properly placed onsupporting horses.

The present invention has relation to riveting machines designed andcalculated for riveting fences or light structures, and it con: sists inthe diiferent parts and combination of parts hereinafter described andparticularly pointed out in the claims.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all of thefigures of the drawlngs.

In the accompanying drawings A, represents the body of the machine,which may be substantially of the form shown in the drawin gs, andshould be formed of sufficient weight to give the desired amount ofstrength and rigidity to the machine proper. The front or forward edgeof the body A, is provided with the opening B, through which opening ispassed the bar or shaft (1, which shaft is properly journaled in thebody A.

To the bar or shaft a is securely attached in any convenient and wellknown manner, the L shaped foot lever G, which L shaped foot lever isprovided with the slotted arm D, which slottedarm engages the pin b,which pin is securely attached to the sliding block E, said slidingblock being located upon the ledge F.

It will be understood that as the foot lever C is pressed or forceddownward, the upper end of the slotted arm D, will be moved to- SerialNo. 504,111. (No model.)

ward the front edge of the body A, thereby carrying with it the block E.

The sliding block H is located substantially as shown in Figs. 1 and 2,and as shown its bottom or lower end is provided with the right angledportion 0, which right angled portion is provided with the inclinededgod,

which inclined edge engages the inclined face or edge d formed upon thesliding block E,

[during the time the foot lever C is in the p0:

sition illustratedin Fig. 1,therebylimiting the downward movement of thesliding block H.

To the top or upper end of the sliding block H is attached the anvil I,which anvil moves up and down with the sliding block H. When it isdesired to bring the anvil I into proper position for use, the footlever O, is pressed downward, which movement elevates the sliding blockH, by. means of the inclined edges (1, and d, and as the sliding blockis carried under the bottom or lower end of the upper sliding block,said upper sliding block will rest upon the lower sliding block, asillustrated in Fig. 2, thereby securely holding the anvil I, in properposition for use.

Directly above the anvil I, is located the reciprocating hammer J, whichhammer is actuated by means of the housing K, thecrank e, and thesprings f together with the collar 9, rotary motion being communicatedto the crank e, by means of the pulley g. It will be understood, that inorder to impart a true reciprocating movement to the hammer J, and itsdifferent parts, that the crank 2, must engage with a horizontal slotlocated in the housing K.

It will be understood that by providing the springs f, and locating themas shown that an accelerating motion will be given to the hammer J, Uponthe sides of the machine proper are located any desired number of horsesor supports, such as L, to the top or upper ends of which are attachedthe adjustable bars h, which adjustable bars carry the rollers 70, saidrollers being for the purpose of providing a means for easily moving thework through the machine proper, and under the hammer. In use the workdesigned to be riveted is placed in the machine proper, substantiallyand for the purpose of providing a means for easily entering the rivetsin their proper places, the anvil I, is attached to the sliding head II,so that said anvil can be lowered so as to not interfere, or be in theway during the time a rivet is adjusted. After a rivet has been properlyadjusted with reference to the hammer and anvil said anvil is elevatedto the position illustrated in Fig. 2, which position supports therivet, so that its top or upper end can be properly swaged or headed.After this operation is completed, the foot lever C is released, atwhich time said lever assumes the position illustrated in Fig 1, byreason of the counterbalances M, which counter-balances are attached tothe arms a said arms being securely attached to the shaft a.

It will also be understood, that bylowering the anvil I so as to clearthe bottom or under side of the work, that the work can be moved backand forth, or slipped sidewise, Without interfering, or coming incontact with the top or upper end of the anvil.

For the purpose of using various kinds of anvils for dilferent grades ofwork, the anvil I, should be removably attached to the sliding block II.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a riveting machine, the combination of a body provided with avertically reciprocating hammer, and a'vertically adjustable anvil, afoot lever provided with a slotted arm, a sliding block connected to theslotted arm, and provided with the inclined face or edge (1, the slidingblock II, provided with the right angled portion 0, having the inclinededge (1, and a counter-weight, substantially as and for the purposespecified.

2. In a riveting machine, the combination of a body provided with areciprocating hammer, the sliding block I-I, provided with the anvil Iand the right angled portion 0, having the inclined edge 01, the slidingblock E, provided with theinclined face or edge 01, the foot lever O,the slotted arm D, and a counter-balance, substantially as and for thepurpose specified.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my namein thepresencc of two witnesses.
